Review on πŸ”’ Belwith Products 1849-SN: Satin Nickel Finish Slide Door Bolt, Solid Brass, 3-Inch by Paul Tilden

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Never again on Latches & Bolts

That's it. They looked very nice out of the box, but didn't mount that well. I'm not sure if it was cast or bolts, but after installing the first of the six, I found that the slider wouldn't slide over the bolt head. On closer inspection I'd say they were most likely screws, but then again the back of the slider on three of them was very warped and had to be filed to get past the screw head. Because there was no clearance to the body, five of the six functioned smoothly, cutting corners with the lead. All screw holes were drilled with a center drill on a drill press, so a crooked screw hole was not a problem. Not such a good deal after all the detours.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
